All around you the world seems to be filled with the screams of wounded and dying men. Steel clashes on steel, and the stench of blood and sweat fills the air. Lightning seems to strike through the dark clouds gathering above the battlefield, making it look like even the gods are at war. Or are it just the army's wizards, fighting their own surrrealistic battle? Large rocks are hurled through the air, as the barons catapults throw their deadly load into the formless mass of orcs opposing you.

The front 5 soldiers battle against the first 5 orcs. You may split this up into individual combat or fight it out as a group.

You must replace both your own soldiers as the orc soldiers with soldiers from the second line when they are slain. Only soldiers in the first line may fight; wizards / rogues in the second line may help with combat spells, but no fighter may help the one in front of him.

Individual orcs give up as soon as their con is reduced to half or less. The orc soldiers break as soon as more 1/3^rd of them have been killed or out of action. That is right, they are not very motivated. They are out for loot, they do not regard death as an honour. You must fight until death or victory (but you may retire a wounded or exhausted front soldier for someone from your second line).

Those in your group who are in the second row have time to see how the sky darkens with clouds. Thunder strikes the mountain tops as even the elements seem to be at war. The catapults of the Barons army hurl big stone sthrough the air, no doubt doing great damage to the orcish troops, allthough you do not profit directly.

If you die, you are dead. If you win, the battle is ending. (you may take adventure points and skill points equal to the sum of the prime attributes of the orcs you defeated, even if they fled away. You may only plunder those orcs who are left dead).
